Hello, I just tried to import an old course so that I could use some assignments again from last year. However, even though the status shows that the import has completed, there are no materials in the new course. Can anyone help troubleshoot?
First you might try double checking to make sure that you are importing the correct course and semester. We import all of the online courses for our college. Occasionally we choose a course either from the same semester we are in, or a future semester, neither of which has content yet. So the import appears to be working correctly, but there was nothing in the initial course to import.
The other possibility is with the settings. You are given the option to import all content or choose specific content. If you select the choose specific content you will get a second window which will require you to select each item you want to import, and then import the content.
If neither of those options are helpful, you might try exporting the course that you want to import as a course file, and then importing the course file, rather than importing from the course.
If none of those options work you'll have to contact support. You should have a ?/help button in your course. They can look at your specific situation. Good luck!
Hi there @RaginiShah ,
Thanks for reaching out on the Instructure Community!
This can happen sometimes. Depending on the size of the course upload, it can take a long time for everything to appear. I just want to verify -- did you happen to see any alerts or warnings aside from it saying it was completed? Sometimes things can't be imported correctly, and it needs you to review certain things.
Let us know so we can provide you with our best insight!Noah
My school will be getting a new teacher who’s never taught a course, so I just will share my assignments/quizzes with them. I know of the Send To feature, but if I do that for a quiz with item banks, will they have the control to edit the item banks on their end without editing my original item banks (meaning it gets…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
